Message from Our President

Hi Ladies,

The hot weather is upon us and summer is now here. Many of us are still living our lives differently and learning new ways to communicate with friends and family.

We would like members to share some of their experiences during this quarantine. What has brought you joy, what have you been doing, or what impact have you made? Please send us a picture at womenofinfinitepossibilities@gmail.com . We will share your photos in a video in July! Should be fun!

We will not have a meeting in June, and we will determine when we can meet in person based on the guidance provided by our local and state leadership. In July we will try a Zoom meeting. Look for more information about this later in the month.

Have a Happy 4th of July and we will see you soon!

Your President

Julie Taylor

Upcoming Meeting News and Information

Again, there will be no meeting this month, due to COVID-19. The June 18, 2020 meeting is cancelled.

We evaluate the potential for a meeting each month. As Julie mentioned above, we are planning a Zoom meeting in July. We think that by now, many of us have used this technology, and that it would be a fun way to check in with each other. If you are unfamiliar with Zoom, don't worry! We will give you a chance to learn about it before the July Meeting. Look for more information about this meeting and training in a few weeks!

Hopefully in August, we will be able to meet face to face and celebrate with a Ladies Luncheon. Thank you for understanding.

"Mission

CBIB: Compassionate Burials for Indigent Babies, is a 501c3 non-profit dedicated to providing dignified burials for deceased, abandoned, or indigent babies. We provide comfort and peace to grieving families, and raise awareness of the Safe Haven Law. Our belief is all life deserves respect and dignity.

As we all know, funerals can be extremely costly. Two more funerals were held recently. CBIB relies on the support of generous donors, like you! We ask that you consider supporting our cause. Thanks to generous donations, such as yours , we are able to provide free funerals to those in need. Your donation is tax deductible, and will help ensure that the next family will have fewer burdens to bear during their time of loss."

James Samaritan has been busy working to help DCFS meet the needs of foster children: from arranging open air visitation centers to purchasing phones and tablets to help these kids keep in touch with their families and attend school!!! All of this is being done through donations.

You can make a difference by responding directly to the needs of these foster children. Find out more at https://jamessamaritan.org/meet-the-need.

The Snack Shack needs your help! The shelves are empty.

Northshore Enduring Hope’s Snack Shake provides snacks to hungry children that come into the State’s custody (primarily from neglect). They are always hungry. So we have snacks ready for them to enjoy. These snacks are also provided to the children when they are having visitations with their siblings or other family members.

If you can help, please pick up some individually wrapped snacks at any grocery or Sams. See the facebook page for pictures of suggested items and direction on how to donate them.
